“Headliners of the night were London four-piece Another S
ky with bassist Naomi being the North East connection. They first came to
my attention when they supported Laurel on her tour late last Summer. Catr
in’s voice has won critical acclaim and that is what captured me first. I
almost likened them to a dark and heavier version of London Grammar\, who
I love but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Yes\, that voice is deep like
Hannah Reids and the music is atmospheric but that is where the comparison
ends…that is if anyone has ever found that comparison bar me!\nAnot
her Sky then took a leap forward with an appearance on Later with Jools Ho
lland\, which seems is why many of the audience were there on this night.
Of the three acts Another Sky’s set seemed more intense but in a different
way of that term as many of the audience actually stood further back from
the stage to get a fuller scope of every band member. They have an energy
I cannot quite describe yet but every member is remarkable. Stereotypical
ly\, many people want to be up close to musicians in this environment – An
other Sky had us wanting to feel the atmosphere of the whole room that peo
ple were moving their bodies in the shadows and the back actually became m
ore cramped than the front! It was a case of you had to be there. It might
have been a one-off and I am glad I witnessed it. Dark\, intense and atmo
spheric might be the way I could describe Another Sky. However\, whatever\
, I say put them on your ‘ones to watch’ list.” -blank-slate-uk.com
